Tamil Word & Letter Counter
சொற்கள், எழுத்துகள் மற்றும் வரிகளைத் துல்லியமாக எண்ணும் கருவி.
The only word counter built specifically for the Tamil script. Correctly differentiates between technical Unicode code points and genuine Tamil letters (grapheme clusters).
Direct Information & Specifications(முக்கிய குறிப்புகள்)
- Grapheme Segmentation
- Splits combined UyirMei (க + ி = கி) as 1 Tamil letter
- Metrics Displayed
- Words, Tamil Letters, Unicode Chars, Lines, Spaces
- Reading Time Estimate
- Calculated at 130 Tamil words per minute average
In Unicode, complex Indic scripts like Tamil store base consonants and combining vowel signs (matras/pulli) as separate code points.
Standard counters incorrectly tell you "தமிழ்" has 5 characters. FastTamilTyping correctly computes genuine Tamil grapheme clusters as 3 letters.
Frequently Asked Questions(அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்)
Instant answers to common questions about typing, formatting, and compatibility.
QWhy does Tamil letter count differ from total Unicode character count?
In Tamil, an UyirMei letter like "கி" consists of base consonant க (U+0B95) + vowel sign ி (U+0BC0), which is 2 Unicode code points but only 1 spoken Tamil letter.
QDoes this word counter count spaces and punctuation separately?
Yes! It breaks down raw characters, characters excluding whitespace, genuine Tamil graphemes, and whitespace count independently.
QIs there a limit on how long a Tamil document I can paste?
You can paste full books, theses, or articles of over 100,000 words. The client-side segmenter processes them in milliseconds.
